Emergency teachers can be placed in a situation where they are required to assess, grade and report on a student’s academic and personal achievements. Without prior knowledge on report writing formats and vital areas of reporting it can be an arduous task. In the student achievement section of the report it is vital to include at least a few areas of academic success, no matter how minor the achievement may be. Every student has capabilities whether in oral presentations, gathering research for reports, working collaboratively within a group, information technology skills, reading, writing and so on. In the student achievement report writing section educators must not report on negative behavior but include positive statements of student success throughout the semester. Teachers are encouraged to mention specific units of work and the student’s achievement level. The opportunity to report on behavior and provide professional recommendations can be included in the areas of improvement components, as included in this document.
